Hot Spring Hotels in Yufu

We were a family of four staying in a two-story room. Upstairs, there were two bedrooms and a restroom: one tatami room with two futons and another with two single beds. Downstairs, there was a very spacious tatami living room and an outdoor open-air garden. The morning sun streamed into the living room, making it very pleasant. The room also had one indoor and one outdoor hot spring bath, as well as a restroom. The outdoor onsen was large enough for four people to soak together, while the indoor one could accommodate two. We had the kaiseki dinner and breakfast plan, and the food quality was exceptionally high. The dinner featured top-grade wagyu shabu-shabu and premium fresh sashimi – absolutely delicious! The ryokan also had four public onsen baths, divided into two for men and two for women. These baths would swap at midnight, meaning that after men enjoyed their two designated baths in the evening, those same baths would become women's baths after midnight. In the morning, men could then use the two onsen that had been for women the day before. We'll definitely go back in winter if we get the chance, to enjoy the hot springs while admiring the snow.

I recently stayed at a traditional Japanese onsen hotel, and it was an amazing experience. The hotel offers private onsens, which provided an incredible level of privacy and relaxation—perfect for anyone trying onsen for the first time. It was so peaceful and serene, and the entire experience felt like a perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. The breakfast was simple yet delicious, offering traditional Japanese dishes that gave me a true taste of the local culture. It was light and satisfying—just what you need to start the day. The tatami bed was also an experience in itself, offering a unique and authentic Japanese way to rest. I slept incredibly well on it, and it added to the overall charm of staying in such a traditional setting. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making me feel very welcomed and taken care of throughout my stay. The location was great—easy to access, with Tang Zhi Ping Road just a short distance away for anyone looking to explore. Plus, they offer free parking, which made it super convenient to travel around. Overall, this hotel is the perfect place for rest and relaxation, especially for those who want to try onsen in a private and peaceful setting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic, calming experience!

Everything was perfect in this hotel! Room is spacious and there are both indoor and outdoor private onsen in the room. The futon was the softest and most comfortable I’ve ever had in Japanese onsen hotels. Dinner was amazing and breakfast was good enough. It would be better if we can choose Japanese or Western style for breakfast. We was looking for grilled fish or sth in Japanese style. Will visit again definitely!

The location is quite good, one of the most satisfying aspects of the overall experience. It's conveniently located, making it easy to reach nearby attractions, shopping malls, transportation hubs, and plan subsequent itineraries. This location is definitely an advantage for travelers or those looking to save travel time. The surrounding environment is also easy to find and doesn't cause inconvenience, thus earning a good rating for its location. The service is above average. The staff are generally friendly and polite, proactively responding to guest needs and handling general inquiries and arrangements efficiently. While not reaching a super-high or surprising level of service, the overall feeling is professional and comfortable. There were no glaringly unpleasant moments during the service, and the staff maintained basic attentiveness and patience, making guests feel well taken care of. A little more initiative in details, such as more actively introducing the dishes and reminding guests of necessary arrangements, would make the overall impression even better. The food is also above average. The overall taste is good, the quality of the ingredients is consistent, and the presentation and portion sizes are reasonable. The dishes may not be exceptionally amazing or unforgettable, but the overall quality is above average, making it suitable for everyday meals, gatherings with friends, or a relaxed dining experience. Some dishes have good layers of flavor, showing the kitchen's dedication; even the simpler dishes maintain a consistent level of quality. If the restaurant could further refine its signature dishes or the details of its seasonings, it would be even more memorable. Overall, this is a consistently satisfactory place. Its convenient location is a clear advantage, and the service and food are above average, with no glaring weaknesses. Unless you're looking for an extremely upscale or exceptionally surprising dining experience, this is a worthwhile option. For guests who value convenience, comfort, and consistent quality, the overall value and experience are quite good.

Facilities: A little old, very Japanese style, the room is a little small Hygiene: Very clean! Very clean! Environment: It is a hot spring hotel on the mountain, the environment is quite good, you can soak in the open-air hot spring in the room, it is perfect on snowy days Service: Very good, the boss and the waiter have a high level of English, barrier-free communication Breakfast and dinner are very rich, and the dishes will be introduced in English after serving. Since it is on the mountain, you can pick up and drop off back and forth, which is very good!

We had a great two-night stay at Lamp No Yado onsen hotel. The onsen was spacious and relaxing, and the meals included in the hotel were delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. On the 2nd day, our room's TV was not working and the staff promptly replaced it when we were out, which truly appreciated. One suggestion would be consider providing a complimentary shutter service from station, as the 20 mins walk may be inconvenient for guests traveling with elderly and children. Although taxis are easily available, complimentary shutter service would further enhance the overall experience.

What a blast I had here!!! I only stayed for one night and now I wish I had stayed longer. It was a Friday so Rio, the owner, organizes a night of games at the public gymnasium for teenagers (who although growing up already have the strength of super-powered samurais) and whoever else wants to participate. I haven't run and wake up with so many bruises since high school! It was really cool how everyone is quick to set the props for each game, we played 4 or 5 games in one hour!!!! It felt like a much longer time, everyone gave their best presence and participation all the time! It seems the other nights he takes everyone for a walk to see the stars, and Tuesdays there's also volleyball. Anyways, he is pretty proactive and creative , so I'm sure there's many variations and possibilities! The living room is very pretty, the sofas super comfortable and the view gorgeous! The bed was very hard :/ this was the only big issue for me. The onsen is so cozy, the water super smooth and instrumental music playing. Delicious! The conditioner smells great! I was a bit worried that they had too many rules, because when I contacted they informed about the need to leave the house everyday from 10 until 16. And that the eating time was very specific: 7:20 in the morning and 7 at night... So I was worried they would be too strict...but there's no need to join the food. I had breakfast and it felt like it would be at the communal dinning of beauxbatons, everyone sitting closeby with identical very beautifully presented meals that come in many quantity but small portions. It is not my jam, but for sure it is special! Some informations could be a bit more clear because they are a bit slow responding. For example they have a pick up time in front of the army at 6pm. I asked info for an amazing lady at the Art Center inside the station, Chika, and she called them. She ended up taking me herself and was the best company I could have found! She is an artist, we went to the supermarket and had great conversation! I recommend going to the art center to say hi to Chika! Lots of love, thank youuu Mountain Mamas!!!

Our trip to Kyushu was truly highlighted by the magnificent Yufuin Shuhokan. The lobby is incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated in a traditional Japanese style. Our room was huge, and the toiletries and skincare products provided were of very high quality. Soaking in both the free indoor and outdoor onsen was incredibly relaxing, giving us a full taste of the comfort of Japanese hot springs. We were delighted to find a ramen shop on the first floor that stayed open late, especially since most other restaurants in town close quite early. The hotel staff were also very friendly and welcoming, even giving us postcards and small gifts when we checked out. This hotel truly offers excellent value for money.

Although the hotel is a bit old, it's exactly the style and feel I wanted: rustic decor, beautiful surroundings, a first-class private bath, and a great location—perfect for anyone who enjoys hiking. Dinner and breakfast were incredibly plentiful. In short, it was fantastic, and I'll definitely come back.

My overall experience at this onsen hotel was quite pleasant, but the value for money is debatable ♨️. * The room features a private outdoor onsen, offering great privacy, so you can relax and soak at your leisure. * The room is spacious enough, making for a comfortable and unconfined stay. * You can freely choose between a Western-style or Japanese-style bed, which offers good flexibility. * Complimentary drinks are provided (until 8 PM), creating a very relaxing atmosphere 🍶. * Dinner can be added on and is delivered directly to your room, which is convenient and provides a sense of privacy.
